These are a few of my favourite alice book covers, all very beautiful in their own way

Becasse at Dempsey Hill
Becasse has opened a complete restaurant and patisserie at dempsey hill, a perfect place for luxury french dining. I decided to go there on a lazy Sunday and it was impressive.
The monochromatic design oozes european sophistication and classic simplicity. Its much more appealing than its lack lustre sister at Ion. The boulangerie montage is the first thing that catches your eye when you walk in. The lighted display of fresh artisanal bread, delicate cakes and balloon-coloured macarons is rather beautiful. The seafood counter which lies ahead has an assortment of fresh food.
Im spoilt for choice but I decide to try one of the famous macaron milkshakes. Though the salted caramel and toffee popcorn is the star I decide to go for something more.. well vanilla. The french vanilla milkshake. It will be a perfect pairing for one of the pretty cakes. The milkshake looks like it was taken out from a picture book, full of vanilla beans dusted with chocolate pops and topped off with a fat vanilla macaron. The milkshake is light, not very creamy. The chocolate pops fizzle in your mouth and down your throat. I also got the rose and lychee mousse which was irresistibly cute. A thin rose jelly covers the lychee mousse and a rose biscuit centre. Mmmm.
The service was excellent and the manager made it a point to welcome and say goodbye to every customer, a nice personal touch. And despite the modern luxe setting, the place felt warm and laid-back. Perfect place for a date. I would definitely return to try out other dishes and enjoy the pleasing ambience.
Coney Island-Luna Park
I wanna go to Coney Island, eat pink candy floss and be happy
Gods and Monsters
In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Living in the garden of evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon
You got that medicine I need
Fame, Liquor, Love give it to me slowly
Put your hands on my waist, do it softly
Me and God, we don’t get along so now I sing
No one’s gonna take my soul away
I’m living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I’m singing
‘Fuck yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly
Want’
It’s innocence lost
Innocence lost
In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Looking to get fucked hard
Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer
Life imitates art
You got that medicine I need
Dope, shoot it up, straight to the heart please
I don’t really wanna know what’s good for me
God’s dead, I said ‘baby that’s alright with me’
No one’s gonna take my soul away
I’m living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I’m singing
‘Fuck yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly
Want’
It’s innocence lost
Innocence lost
When you talk it’s like a movie and you’re making me
Crazy –
Cause life imitates art
If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?
You tell me, “life isn’t that hard”
No one’s gonna take my soul away
I’m living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I’m singing
‘Fuck yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly
Want’
It’s innocence lost
Innocence lost
